Explorador is designed for families where adults can join their children on bridges and zip-lines that are great fun and not too difficult - a great introduction to the world of treetop adventures.

Thriller is the most unique circuit, filled with exhilarating zip-lines. It’s not difficult but it is very high up. You can surf through the trees ending with the longest 160-metre zip-lines.
